War Machine

James “Rhodey” Rhodes (aka) War Machine, was Created by writer David Michelinie and artist John Byrne, War Machine made his first appearance in Iron Man #118 in 1979.

I started my journey as a United States Marine Corps pilot and a close friend of Tony Stark, the billionaire industrialist and superhero known as Iron Man. Over time, I proved myself to be a skilled pilot and a loyal ally to Tony Stark. At a time when he faced personal and health-related challenges, I stepped in to don the armor of Iron Man, becoming his successor.

However, I developed my own distinctive armored suit with advanced weaponry and technology. This new suit, known as the War Machine armor, was designed for combat and military applications. I know everyone thinks Tony Stark designed the War Machine Armor! but that is not accurate, his company assembled the armor based on my designs. Featuring heavy firepower and enhanced defensive capabilities, making War Machine a formidable force on the battlefield.  

My adventures span many events; for example: Armor Wars, and Dark Reign. I also played a significant role on various teams, such as the Avengers and the Secret Avengers, where my military background and tactical expertise proved invaluable.
